Sketchy
I’ve been busy the last few days. Arrgh I could have been getting caught up on my sketchbook pages *kicking myself. As usual, click to enlarge.

1. What I didn’t draw was how Isabelle kept trying to stick Nathan in her “spaceship”. Or on top!
2. Yeah, why does Nathan complain so much when he’s getting changed? Does he like being dirty?
3. Nathan crawling after crawling Isabelle, so cute!
4. Nathan gets a real kick out of us dancing around.
5. Isabelle usually doesn’t like macaroni and cheese. She usually won’t even try it. But I let her choose which recipe to make so she tried it!
6. I love Alan.
7. I am so glad Nathan is usually a good sleeper.

1. I like how the low high boy girl voice drawing has a smeary eyebrow. Nathan touched it with his little drooly hand before it had dried.
2. And yes Isabelle chose kale. KALE! We made kale chips. I followed the recipe down to the amount of salt and it was too salty. It didn’t specify how large of a bunch of kale. Maybe that’s why. Maybe my bunch of kale was smaller than the recipes bunch of kale. I could see the potential though. If it weren’t saltier than the sea it would have been yummy. Isabelle very willingly popped one into her mouth too. And then promptly spit the salty thing out.
3. Isabelle just grabbed a book off the shelf and instantly fell in love with it. We borrowed it from the library though it was all ratty and the pages were practically falling out. I’ve read it to her every night for 3 weeks. Well, except for last night.
4. I think I was actually yelling, “get him!” Something to do with Nathan I’m sure.
5. Rapido! I really should try to teach Isabelle Chinese. Hello! Bridgette, you are supposed to speak Chinese with me so I can use it more.
6. Nathan was making so much noise. He actually quite likes it. And it was a good distraction but so loud. He was using one of those small metal flashlights against the shower track. BANG! BANG! BANG! Or more like
BANG! BANG! BANG!

1. It was another night of waking up. It had been how many in a row though I hadn’t drawn it out. But no new tooth that we can see.
2. I think Alan was tired and maybe that’s why he didn’t realize he had burped in my face. And it’s not like he walked over and burped. He was changing Nathan or I was changing Nathan and one of us walked over…and face full of burp.
3. Can you tell what I was making for Isabelle? I’ll share tomorrow or the day after or…you know me. When I can find some spare time.
Ok, off I go. We are going to a Beaver Festival today. And how fortuitous. We just watched a Zoboomafoo about beavers an hour ago.
